Corona Support III - Digitalisation with MIDOCO Group Software

Written by David Chappell | Aug 23, 2021 9:13:25 AM

Corona remains the source of topics. This time we would like to point out an opportunity. The Bridging Aid III may give you the opportunity to receive state support for optimising your digital processes.

Our software digitises your daily work. This means that costs from projects with MIDOCO and Umbrella or ongoing costs from existing contracts may be eligible for Bridging Assistance III.

Who is eligible?
Companies that can show at least a 30% drop in turnover in one month compared to the 2019 reference month.

How much will be reimbursed?
Up to €1.5 million per month. The amount of the subsidy is based on the size of the decline.

What is reimbursed?
Eligible fixed costs are set out in a fixed cost catalogue. 

These include:
Leases, property taxes, insurances, subscriptions and other fixed expenses as well as rental costs for vehicles and machinery, interest expenses, depreciation on assets up to an amount of 50 per cent, the financing cost portion of leasing instalments, expenses for electricity, water, heating, etc.... Personnel expenses that are not covered by short-time allowances are subsidised at a flat rate of 20 percent of fixed costs. Finally, structural measures for the implementation of hygiene concepts can be funded, as well as marketing and advertising costs.

Another new feature is that one-off digital investments can be funded with up to 20,000 €. Costs incurred outside the funding period can also be taken into account.

What does this have to do with MIDOCO Midoffice, Umbrella Faces or Umbrella.net?
